In order to make sense of everything that happened, it's only fitting to take a look back at the best and worst moments in a segment I like to call Lady Boner or Lady Groaner. The concept is simple. If the moment was as hot and awesome as a tray of buttermilk biscuits, it's a Lady Boner; however, if what happened was as jankity as a broken Skip-It toy, then it's read more
